service password-encryption
Use the
service password-encryption
command to turn on global password protection. Use the
no
form
of this command to return to default settings.
Syntax Description
No subcommands.
Default Values
By default, global password protection is disabled.
Functional Notes
When enabled, all currently configured passwords are encrypted. Also, any new passwords are encrypted
after they are entered. Password encryption is applied to all passwords, including passwords for
username, enable, Telnet/console, PPP, BGP, and authentication keys. When passwords are encrypted,
unauthorized persons cannot view them in configuration files since the encrypted form of the password is
displayed in the running-config. While this provides some level of security, the encryption method used
with password encryption is not a strong form of encryption so you should take additional network security
measures.
Usage Examples
The following example enables password encryption for all passwords on the unit:
ProCurve(config)#
service password-encryption
Caution
If you need to go back to a previous revision of the code (e.g., SROS J.03.01), this command
must be disabled first. Once the service is disabled, all necessary passwords must be
re-entered so that they are in the clear text form. If this is not done properly, you will not be
able to log back in to the unit after you revert to a previous revision that does not support
password encryption.
Note
You cannot recover a lost encrypted password. You must erase the startup-config and set a
new password.
